Soft! Over 400km for me to the G and back. I don't miss a match! (on the TV)  I still pay my membership donation every year.

Soft, indeed! I drive from Adelaide (from the southern coast 40 kms southwest of the city) to Melbourne for many games during the season, a round-trip of about 22 hours, at least, with the handbrake providing particular instructions on the route, the speed, the distances to go, the meal breaks, the traffic flow and the price of fuel - every five minutes for the entire journey. . How's that for being an avid Dees fan?

    Definite signs of insanity. Must be a long trip home some weeks!

    Sounds like a disappointing effort from Hunt.

    Must say I have never seen him play well at VFL level. Always thought it was the lack of pace in the game gave him no room.

    He's  quick. That's about it.

    It's either half back or bust for me.

    I don't rate him Dazzle, poor disposal, poor decision maker and whilst he has speed he makes decisions the same way., without considering all options 

    IMO he's depth

    Yep, agree with what you just said. He's lost his mojo and needs to get it back asap.

    Last time we played a VFL side against the Bombers was round 2 in 2013 and we got spanked by 148 points. 

    We’re improving.

    Thanks for that. I just rescued the season's ticket as it was starting to melt.

     

    Thats what happens when you read the headline without reading the story.

    Any Essendrug  Teeth ? left in the Turf

    What was the point of that game if they turn up with 2 sides?

    Yes it is a Hit out, but playing young fatigued players against a fresh side after Half Time is a risky card to play. 
     

    i Hate Essendrug 

    (First time i have written that n 2020)

    It's a good question. The conclusion I have come to is that Burgess or Goodwin wanted every uninjured player on the list to have some real match play this weekend so they are all doing same type and level of work.

    Thanks (not) for that reminder Steve. I was there that day and had finally ( through alcohol therapy) repressed the memory.

    I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?

    Isn’t it the Collingwood  team that gets day release to allow them to play?

    Wasn’t that the year that the Bummers were on “the good stuff” from Dank?

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
